South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 28, 2012 <br /> 2. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> Option A does address the primary issue of <br /> additional traffic from U.S. 31, corrects the <br /> substandard intersections at Teri, Barbie and <br /> Chippewa, has the opportunity to fix the <br /> drainage problems on Fellows and <br /> Chippewa, eliminates on street parking on <br /> Chippewa and Fellows, and requires the <br /> acquisition of 30 properties. It is, however, <br /> 90% designed. <br /> Options B 1 through B3 look very similar. <br /> Each of them uses the route of Fellows to a <br /> reconfigured Walter through O'Brien <br /> property to a reconfigured Barbie. In all three <br /> cases, the route is three lanes. The <br /> intersection of Barbie and Michigan would <br /> require a signal. The slight differences <br /> between the B options are at the substandard <br /> intersections of Teri, Barbie and Chippewa, <br /> intended to improve one or more of those <br /> intersections. B2 doesn't address the Teri <br /> intersection; however, again, a stop sign <br /> could be used to alleviate the issues there. <br /> The Option B configurations would reduce <br /> Fellows Street traffic, making it more of a <br /> residential street. On-street parking would be <br /> made available. Chippewa would continue to <br /> have on-street parking, though the reduced <br /> traffic on Chippewa would minimize the <br /> obstruction-of-vision problems the parking <br /> causes. Options B allow the city to address <br /> drainage problems in the neighborhood while <br /> making improvements to Fellows and Barbie. <br /> It does require the use of park owned <br /> property to build the road. B 1 and B2 <br /> acquire the acquisition of 12 properties and <br /> 7 <br />
